The quote that begins chapter 7:
“I used to think Jesus motivated us with ultimatums, but now I know He pursues us in love.”
Oh how He pursues you. All of creation is a result of His love. He will go to any length to draw you into an intimate relationship with Him. Slow down, let Him love you.
God is more concerned with how and why we do things than He is with what we do. We unfortunately put more emphasis on what. There are numbers of actions or activities that we engage in that look great to the world around us but if we are doing them to bring glory to ourselves they are as wrong as doing something that everyone recognizes as bad.
Be obtained or won, the only way to get love is to give it, though that can’t be our motivation.
